I sold my HQ 19 about four years ago, so I'm not sure on the model of Victron inverter. But I think it was a 2,000 watt. It might be better to get a 3,000 watt, but not necessarily because it likely won't run the AC anyway and the 3,000 has higher standby losses. But it is a good idea to stay...

I had the old Aims inverter/charger in my HQ19. After it quit twice, I ditched it and went to a Victron inverter. When BS went to the newer inverters, from the Aims model, I think at the same time they went to the white interior dinette cushions, they switched to an overseas brand that had no...

My lights did the same thing. And after a lot of trying to figure it out, I did some simple rewiring and fixed it. If you have the breakaway system battery in yours, do yourself a favor and get rid of it buy running the breakaway system from the house batteries. You can tap into the trailer...

It sounds like your tires can contribute to sway issues if the trailer is not very stable. Way big for the stock wheel size. Your Ram is a good choice for towing. The HQ21 is not known to be more stable than the 19, which I had and towed many miles with no issues and no WDH. Tow with the...

The Reboot was changed to have larger frame members. 2 X 8 instead of 2 X 6 box and the tongues are now 2 X 6 with approx 3/8" wall, instead of 2 X 5 with 1/4" wall. The changes don't translate to the Pause frames. I'm only talking about Reboot. But the new 22.4 Pause, which is a whole new...

Have you actually seen the one you'll be getting, or are you going to order one? They have just strengthened the frames and the new ones are arriving with the better design. See if you can get the new frame.

Obsessed, That is funny and a good comparison. As many have said over and over, no trailer is perfect and I'm finding it is also true with Reboot. But at least they are trying and making constant improvements. And their warranty means something. The difference between the X195/R1 and the...

In my Roamer 1, and based on comments from others, the AC is only barely adequate. Certainly not capable of making it "cold" inside in 90* weather. Part of the problem is the very high heat intrusion from the aluminum extrusions that hold the whole body structure together and are hot to the...

Well, I do tend to make long posts. This is because I offer supporting information about what my position is. I'm thorough. I give the reasons for my answers. You don't have to read them if you don't want to. I'm interested in all trailer designs. On my R1 I had 1250 watts of solar and it...

Well, you seem to have read a lot into my comments, while expanding them in a way that fits your beliefs, even though you don't have a real trailer to compare with or any information about me. So, I'll just write off any dishonest or slanted views made only to make a non point. And by the way...

I don't remember specifically comparing The Roam to others in the detail you are connecting me with. I've gone into great detail on the X195/R1 and the Reboot. And some on the X22. But I have no experience with a Roam. I do understand diesel heating. That's why I would rather have propane...

Sorry, typo. Second sentence should read: "This gives the trailer's hitch a higher percentage of the overall weight." In other words, moving the wheels aft increases the tongue weight. That doesn't make it unstable, it just makes the truck carry more. Moving the wheels too far forward is what...

Yes, The axle appears to be set rather far back from the hitch. This gives trailers a higher percentage of the overall weight. It also tends to give good stability, provided the tow vehicle is not overloaded. But this one seems to have the wheels set a bit farther toward the rear than usual...

That all sounds very good. Just what you need in a number of ways. Thanks for posting lots of good information and please keep us in the loop. I want more info on this as well as your experience towing with your EV.

That swing away tongue looks pretty beefy. If it has a weak point it is in the pullout pins. That is a highly stressed point and will likely get wallowed out over time from the heavy stress and play in the system. Bolts would be better, but slower to remove. It seems like an unfortunate...

Imperial downplayed the frame breaking by blaming it on the owner. When confronted with the second break, they recommended an "unnecessary" fix that was just a simple "unneeded" bandaid. My analysis of the frame revealed poor welding, too much flexing (of course, all frames flex, but that is...

MV, I don't know exactly what that Imperial statement means either. But here is what I do know: The frames were always advertised on their website as being made of 1/4" wall tubing, .250". However, it turns out they are 11 gauge, which is .123" or just under 1/8". I'm not saying that...

I was really enamored with the Imperial line of trailers too. I bought an X22 and loved it. It certainly was not perfect, but it was just the right size, had interesting suspension, was rugged and towed well. The V nose was unique and I liked it. The problems were: the solar was a...

In my world, it is important to remember that two things can be good at the same time. Often, there is no reason to take sides and grope for reasons to support one over the other. But facts are facts and important. If you overlay facts on the discussion, it helps all of us to see which of two...

Second part: Next point about your opinion of the McHitch. And again, I don't care which hitch you use. Really, I don't. But denigrating it because you didn't understand how to use it is not the hitches problem. Trying to support a weak argument about Cruisemaster by including false...
